Great video! Have been contemplating this model for a while. After watching your video, we feel more confident on the prep process. Finally ordered this model. Thanks.
I came back to watch step by step so i had to comment again lol. YOU SIR have changed my life. I was ready to get rid of this machine, sooo frustrated with it. But i got it down now and have just made myself a cappuccino. Cant thank u enough! Also bought the hand grinder and the measuring cups from your links. Hope u get a percentage $$ from that ☺
Best review of a product. I just got one for Xmas and now I’m trying to see how it works. I would add 2 things it doesn’t have an auto off function so make sure it’s off snd holding the min button down will set the 12-24 hour setting
That was a great thorough video on this product that I've been contemplating for to long. My ques is by upgrading to a bottomless portafilter do you think it will elevate the espresso side? I need a good Americano whereas my wife is fine with the drip. It would be awesome to see a part 2 video showing the espresso side with upgraded components (you ve already got the tamper fixed). Thanks again!!
I am having trouble with the bold function for the drip coffee. Works perfectly when selecting it after pressing the “Coffee ON/OFF” button, but when I try to press it after setting the AUTO, nothing happens. Any ideas?
@@retrotechandelectronics Interesting! I tried to follow your steps without success but I did find something in the process. It seems the “BOLD” button can only be pressed after pressing the “Coffee ON/OFF” button first. However, I believe that the machine memory keeps track if the “BOLD” function was on or off after pressing the “Coffee ON/OFF” button again to turn the machine off. I found this out by setting the auto for a few minutes ahead and waiting to see it turn on. When it did, the bold came on as well! In short, the function DOES work with the auto feature, but both the instructions and the button panel are VERY vague about letting you know that the function is working properly. Thank you for the help!!!
Great video! Just bought this machine based off your review. Our espresso doesn’t come out in a smooth flow like yours. It’s coming out in a slow drip (~5 mins) any recommendations?
Probably has to do with your puck prep, I found that you need to buy a distribution tool and tamper to help pack the ground in, I also use a puck screen to help with flow, total time should be 15-20 seconds
We have been contemplating this model, but Amazon has maybe 3.5 rating out of 2,880 reviews. Anyone have thoughts on this? I have read the reviews & it’s very mixed…thoughts?
Did you end up buying? I'm in the same position as you. I looked at lots of other brands and types, and this appears to have the perfect combo of features I was looking for, but the Amazon reviews are worrisome.
Do you get a lot of water draining into the tray when turning on the frothier? I get two big table spoons of water every time. Is this normal? My last expresso maker never leaked any water. I don't get it. Why does it do this? It's the only thing I hate about this expensive machine.
Great video, but "clock flashing like a VCR" is a crazy thing to say in 2023/24 hahaha.. Thank you for this video, made my purchase decision. Keep up the great work
@@retrotechandelectronics Fair enough, it brought me back. I enjoyed it! I'm heading out to purchase one of these Delonghi's today actually. I really enjoyed your walkthrough of the product! All the best, Happy holidays!
This is a top-shelf presentation! Film and sound quality is first-rate!! Many thanks!!!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Good Stuff! Purchased one, have never made espresso or Cappuccino. Instructions were ok but you made it much easier and informative. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
"Conduct a standard clean up of the espresso area now" 😂 love it

Glad I could help!
My son just bought me this for Christmas & although I am beyond excited, I have no clue how to use it. This video was beyond helpful! Thx
Glad to hear it!

The tamper needed an update , the portafilter is sufficient for what it is. I did not upgrade the bottom end.
OK@@retrotechandelectronics
Nice transitions; like that boom boom sounds
You ever get that chassis for your Coleman stove cleaned up ??
The complete restoration is on the schedule
"Like a VCR" that made me smile xD
Still haunts some of us
What’s a VCR?
Can you make toturial for all of any cofee we can made with this machine?! thankyou
Thank you so much for this video. You did an amazing job. 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was fantastic! Thanks for the help and guidance.
You’re welcome!
thank you for this video i received this for Christmas 🎄
You’re welcome!

Did you try setting bold on before auto to see if that would work for you. Auto may lock out functionality

Thanks for the video.
You're welcome.
Heeey, thanks for this amazing video. So well done and easy to watch.
I have only one question, the portafilter is 51 mm?
Greetings from México.
I noticed you did not use the Descaler water pouch for the cleaning process. Do we need to use it or is it optional.
Descaling is used as scale builds up not when new
great review man!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
I have this but hate the fact you fill the expresso side with water and have to stop it manually. Any work arounds?
Great presentation
Thanks!
This is a very good and concise video.
Thank you.
Can you show me how to put the small packing piece back in the box I have to repack it and can't figure it out
I do not have the box anymore...
Very detailed video. It helped me a lot!!! Thanks.
Glad to hear it was helpful!

Can the pod espressos be used with it ?
Yes, there is an attachment for them.
@@retrotechandelectronics Do you know which pods? Where to purchase?
Do you have a problem of excessive water in expresso side drip tray? my drip tray fill up to full in one brew.
Water yes, but not excessive.
Ha!ha! He set time for 420🤣
Por favor me podrían ayudar mi cafeteria prende y la pongo a funcionar con el café pero no funciona no sale el agua

Hi our espresso tank leaks when we fill it. We just unboxed it? Any recommendations?
Return for another.

This is normal.
@@retrotechandelectronics yeah my wife says it’s normal too. Must be just me that’s not. LOL.
Well Done - Thank you

Great video. But it seems like to much of a work for just an espresso. On my way to Starbucks 😢😢
...enjoy.
A bit of a faff. I’ll stick to my Moka!
Simple and effective
The video is ok! The machine is terrible. No wonder you can find in second hand market.
What's terrible about it?
